* PlayerPunch: Oh boy, the last two cases was not kind to a lot of people. [[spoiler: First of all, Apollo decided to leave the office to work by himself in order to find out who really killed his friend. Second of all, Athena managed to be accused of murdering Clay after the BigBad made everybody believe her "fingerprints" were found on the lighter. Third of all, Trucy got kidnapped by Aura Blackwell as an attempt to redo Simon's trial. Fourth of all, Athena was accused of murdering her mother and almost everybody including Athena believed that. Fifth of all, Bobby Fulbright ended up being DeadAllAlong as the BigBad killed him to do a DeadPersonImpersonation on him.]]

** In Turnabout Reclaimed, the "Special Episode", [[spoiler: Marlon Rimes's "flip-flop" testimony. It's far enough from English that it's basically unintelligible [[note]]To elaborate, it's LeetLingo, [[TalkLikeAPirate pirate speak]] and [[JiveTurkey over-the-top rapping lingo]] blended together into a mix that's nigh unreadable[[/note]], it suffers from all-caps syndrome, and it takes two or three steps to break.]] While it's extremely straightforward to work out which piece of evidence to present, it's borderline impossible to work out which ''statement'' to present it on. [[spoiler:The trick is to press and see what he talks about during that pressing, not what he raps about in the main statement. It's the first statement that you need to present it on]].** While not as bad, Means's first testimony in Case 3 can be pretty annoying, since the correct statement to present evidence, is a blink and you'll miss it one.** [[spoiler: Simon's]] testimony during the final case. Which requires you to use both the Mood Matrix and present evidence, something that hasn't been done together before this point. You have to be careful though: mess up too many times, [[spoiler:and Blackquill will not only get convicted, [[ItsAWonderfulFailure but he will die]] (you heard right: '''''die!''''') [[ItsAWonderfulFailure at the hands of the state]]!]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[spoiler:Aura Blackquill]] in one EarnYourBadEnding. [[spoiler:Sure, it sucks that her innocent brother gets executed after all; but given the heavy implication that she proceeds to invoke RevengeByProxy upon her equally innocent hostages (including Trucy, the adopted daughter of the guy fighting tooth-and-nail to save said brother), quite a few fans lost any remaining sympathy for her.]]

** In the same case, while Norma [=DePlume=] and Athena are discussing the fact that the orca song Norma heard, and the song the orca does sing, are different. [[spoiler: It alludes to the fact that there are two orcas]], but the discussion culminates in the two of them having an FantasySequence of themselves singing the songs they know.

** Some of the fandom interpret Simon Blackquill's admiration for Japanese culture, despite having (at least in the English version) ostensibly no Japanese heritage, as a sign that he's a [[OccidentalOtaku weeaboo]].** [[spoiler: Also the revelation that his under-eye streaks came from crying a lot in prison]] have given birth to the theory that Simon is secretly a crybaby.
